“We have had a great experience with Barbara! Highly recommended for newborn photoshoot”
Your baby, just as they are
We call our approach Newborn Lifestyle: a natural and minimalist and baby-led way of photographing your baby without elaborate props, costumes or rigid poses. Styling is kept simple and meaningful — perhaps a soft swaddle, or their little bear beside them — so the focus always stays on your baby. Asleep or awake, stretching, feeding, being soothed, or giving us a tiny yawn, every little moment is part of who they are — and often becomes one of the most special photographs in the gallery. If they need to feed, be held, calm down or take a break, we simply follow their rhythm. Whatever happens is welcome, because it all belongs to this moment.
THE WAY THEY FIT IN YOUR ARMS
Parents are an essential part of the session. We are not only photographing what your baby looks like, but this very new relationship taking shape — the way you are still learning them, the way they settle into your arms, and just how small they look against you. These are the details that make this stage feel so special — a stage you only get to experience once.
NEWBORN SESSIONS START AT AED 1,750.
EXPLORE OUR NEWBORN STYLES
studio natural
The softness of the first momentsA soft and relaxed newborn session photographed in our private home studio in Dubai, using beautiful natural light to create bright, airy and delicate images with a clean and timeless feel. The space is calm, private and unhurried, allowing us to follow your baby’s rhythm without pressure. With simple styling and a soft, minimal approach, the attention stays on your baby, your connection and the little details that make these first days so unique.
in-home session
only us in the first momentsA newborn session in the comfort of your own home — perfect for those first days when getting everyone out can feel like a lot. We follow your baby’s rhythm, using natural light and the little routines already unfolding around you.
Your home does not need to be perfectly styled. Sometimes all we need is one beautiful corner with good light — a place for feeding, cuddling, changing your baby or simply holding them close, creating images that feel personal, natural and entirely yours.
fresh 48
the first hoursPhotographed during your baby’s first days in the hospital, Fresh 48 is our most documentary approach, following what is naturally happening around you. The first feeds, a tiny diaper change, little hands and feet, or an older sibling meeting the baby for the first time.
Nothing needs to feel perfectly arranged — these first hours are already full of everything we want to remember.
studio classic
THE POWER OF THE FIRST MOMENTSOur Studio Classic sessions have a stronger, more portrait-led approach, with more direction and a less spontaneous feel than our Studio Natural sessions. Using a black background and carefully shaped studio flash, we create photographs with deeper contrast, sculpted light and a more dramatic finish. The simplicity of the setting keeps all the attention on your baby and your family, creating images that feel powerful and timeless.
OUR LITTLE WORLD
There is something about the first days with a new baby that is difficult to put into words. The hormones, the tiredness, the intensity of learning someone completely new, and the feeling that life outside has almost paused for a little while.
I see it during the sessions all the time. Mothers get emotional, fathers do too, and very often I do as well. There is a vulnerability to this stage, but also a closeness that exists in such a particular way only at the beginning.
My relationship with newborn photography actually started with my son, Tom. Until then, I associated newborn sessions with the more traditional style — elaborate props, posed setups and a very different aesthetic from what I naturally connected with. Because of that, I had always said no to newborn sessions.
When Tom was born, I simply photographed him the way I wanted to remember him: as he was, in our arms, in our home, with all the little details and moments that made those days ours. I didn’t know at the time that what I was drawn to had a name, or that it would become such an important part of my work.
He opened that door for me. Since then, photographing newborns has become one of the parts of my work that moves me the most, probably because I know how intense, fragile and beautiful that little world can feel while you are inside it.
And even if you live it again with another baby, it will never be quite the same. A different child, a different version of you, a different family.
